DUST IN THE WIND

This is what its like walking to work on a bad day. It is a blistering hot fine blowing dust that may last for a few hours or days. This storm was a bad one. My lungs hurt when I breath, it's so bad. Maybe they will let me go home on a medical discharge...

    that looks just like Brown, Texas where we lived when Suzie was growing up.... Put a wet towel folded up and pushed up against your door. Also hang one (wet) over your air cond. vent. Tricks I used to do. MIMI

    Reminds me of Midland, TX in the early 50's. Saw Charline the other day. Looking forward to your return with new stories. Jim Bozeman

    I hope you know how many Americans are really praying for all of you and your safety in returning home to your families. The sand picture really does look like a sandstorm from Luboock, Texas. LE Schriver

    You must have an advantage over the guys that have never seen a good sandstorm. Never the less, it looks pretty darn miserable.

    I know how that is!
    Last week when we had that storm, by the time I got up to the office my lungs were burning! I am used to blizzards in MN but sand is a solid, and lungs do not like it!
    Where are you at? I saw Al Faw palace, and I work right by it!
